u.s.-canadian citizen, along with british, australian, polish citizenship. >> a lot of people very happy to see us. >> reporter: chef jose andres who founded world central kitchen calling them angels. and adding, the israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing, stop using food as a weapon. andrés' organization was the first to bring food into gaza by sea. he spoke about his mission to get food into northern gaza on "today". >> we need to do everyday shipments to the north. we can solve the hunger problem in the north. everybody working together, we can. >> reporter: the israeli military calling the killings a tragic indianapolis dent. saying it launched a thorough review at the highest levels. its spokesman saying he talked to chef andrés. >> we are committed to examining operations thoroughly and transparently. >> reporter: but the charity says its staff were traveling in a three-vehicle convoy clearly marked with its logo and

coordinated their movements with the israeli military ahead of time. the white house urging israel to swiftly investigate what happened. one victim, australian, an experienced aid worker. damien, from poland, was also killed according to his local mayor. israel facing questions about the accuracy of its strikes in gaza. as elsewhere, rising fears of a wider war. this fiery explosion destroying an iranian diplomatic building in syria yesterday. iran says the blast killed seven officers from the revolutionary guard. now it's blaming israel and saying that as an ally, the u.s. must answer for the attack. now, israel neither confirming nor denying it was behind that strike in syria, but its forces are high on high alert for potential iranian retaliation. last night, the israeli military says an iranian-made drone hit one of its naval bases. there were no casualties, but

israel calling it a very serious incident. hoda? >> raf sanchez for us there in tel aviv. raf, thank you. all right. there are some key developments tied to a major issue in the 2024 race. reproductive rights and abortion. florida supreme court paved the way for the state's six-week abortion ban to take effect. but in a separate ruling, the court ruled that voters will have their say on broader abortion rights in a referendum on the ballot in november. nbc's senior legal correspondent laura jarett is here to break it down. so related, but separate, two different rulings. let's start with this abortion ban that was passed by the florida state legislature. it is a long legal road. it is complicated. but the bottom line is that the state supreme court upheld this six-week ban essentially. >> yeah. they said there is no right to an abortion under the state constitution. a bunch of states have been dealing with this since the fall of roe v. wade. there's no federal right. so the states have been looking at their own constitutions to see if there's any hook there. obviously advocates have been trying to use that as their only last hope. but the court said, no, there is no constitutional right to an

abortion in florida. so the six-week ban can now go into effect starting at the beginning of next month. >> just real quickly, the real impact of this is there are a lot of southern states that all but banned abortion or have very significant restrictions. a lot of those women had been going to florida. florida had seen a huge surge. >> a huge surge since the fall of roe. now that it's cut off, people will have to travel hundreds of miles now to get an abortion. >> let's talk about this referendum. a ballot issue the supreme court said can appear on november's ballot for florida voters. and this is going into in the opposite direction. this would enshrine the abortion rights. >> yeah, it's funny to have the decisions on the same day. there were two different issues that came up. they just happened to come up on the same day. the state had been saying the language on this ballot is too confusing. not clear enough and the court said, no, it's very clear what it means. if the voters approve it, you're able to get an abortion up to the point of viability, which would be around 24 weeks. the difference between six-week ban and 24 weeks obviously huge.

the voters need to have a huge majority, 60%, in order to pass it. it will be on the ballot in november. >> of course, the voters will have their say. okay, lawyer laura, thank you. breaking overnight, we learned that donald trump posted a $175 million bond as he appeals the judgment in his civil fraud case here in new york. today he will be back on the campaign trail in the battleground of michigan. nbc's gabe gutierrez joins us from grand rapids. gabe, good morning. >> reporter: hey there, hoda. good morning. far from the u.s. southern border, president trump is heading to this critical swing state, michigan, to talk immigration. this will be his first campaign event in three weeks as he fights legal battles on multiple fronts. overnight, donald trump posting a $175 million bond in his civil fraud case. for now, the money will prevent the former president's assets from being ceased while the case is appealed. he's also facing a serious cash crunch as he fights for criminal indictments.

trump's share of his social media company dropped by $1 billion after it reported $58 million in losses causing the stock to drop 21%. he announced he'd still god bless the usa bibles for $60 each. >> make america pray again. >> reporter: the former president back on the campaign trail today here in battleground michigan, talking immigration. >> millions of illegal border crossers have entered the country unlawfully. >> reporter: here in grand rands, he'll focus on 25-year-old ruby garcia who died last month in what authorities called a domestic violence homicide. police say the suspect, hero man tick partner, is an undocumented immigrant who had previously been deported during the trump administration. >> we had him out of here and he came back. >> reporter: while there are hundreds of murders each year committed by legal residents, republicans are citing the case as evidence president biden is not doing enough to secure the southern border. biden's michigan allies are

firing back. >> this was not a crisis that occurred overnight. it's been 40 years since our last comprehensive immigration reform. both parties bear responsibility. >> reporter: president biden's team is also focussing heavily on michigan. democrats plan to open 30 campaign offices in the state over the next few weeks. meanwhile, former president trump will also visit wisconsin today as well. hoda? >> all right. gabe gutierrez for us there in grand rapids. all right. quarter after the hour. we have a big night in college basketball. >> huge, they would say. hoda and savannah, good morning. good morning to you as well. so the rematch of last year's women's championship certainly lived up to the hype. iowa superstar caitlin clark shined, leading those iowa hawkeyes passed lsu into the final four once again. their next opponent uconn after the huskies grabbed the last

their title hopes a year ago, lsu. >> this feels a little better. it is my senior year. the job is not finished. >> reporter: the tigers put up a fight. highlighted by absurd acrobatics by johnson. >> on the attack, spinning and finishing! >> reporter: and a monster performance from clark's on court rival angel reese kwho shook off an early injury to post 17 points and 20 rebounds before fouling out and ultimately giving clark an end of game hug. >> we came up short, but we had to keep our heads on. >> reporter: clark managing to tear down two more records, becoming the all-time division i leader in career made threes. while she was at it, breaking the tournament record for assists. >> oh, what a pass! >> reporter: but number 22 now gets a matchup with another super nova. >> jumps the passing lane. paige bueckers. scoops it up and in. >> reporter: uconn's engine in the 2021 national player of the year is fully recovered from injury and a serious obstacle to

any iowa title hopes. >> and uconn knocks out another number one seed to head back to the final four. >> i'm so proud. we're not supposed to be here, and here we are. >> reporter: the final four field for the women now all locked up with the surging north carolina state team taking on undefeated south carolina. a lineup of leading women ready to compete for college basketball's ultimate prize. so exciting, guys. clark is not the only player breaking records. juju watkins of usc just set a new freshman scoring mark. another incredible thing here. you are talking about uconn and nc state with their mens and women's teams in the final four. in the psalm year, that has never happened before until 2024. what you are seeing right now, weeks of magic and the madness is not over yet. >> no, it's not. it is not, sam brock. sam, thank you so much. i got to watch some of the iowa game last night. it was fun to watch. >> i love that you called it the iowa game. >> it was. >> especially the end, right?

off the coast of nigeria on day eight when they missed the boat. >> we were on a late tour of the island. we had an issue on the tour that they didn't get us back on time. >> reporter: according to the couple, the tour operator notified the captain they would be late rejoining the group. they say the island's coast guard tried to get them along with several others to the ship, but they say they weren't allowed to board. they're now part of a number of foreigners stranded, including a husband and his pregnant wife from delaware. 80-year-old julia was on a different day tour. >> she's a world traveler. she travels all the time. and, so, this is going to be one of her bucket list trips. she's been to 120 countries so far and she wanted to get to 130. >> reporter: she collapsed, apparently suffering a stroke. the cruise line said she was medically disembarked to receive treatment locally. adding they tried to contact her but couldn't reach her.

the campbells went to help her connect with her family back in california who flew her home. >> they really did safe her life. >> reporter: norwegian cruise lines said the campbells' situation was unfortunate saying guests are responsible for ensuring they return to the ship at the published time. but added the guests were on a private tour. cruise ships are strict about their boarding times, which passengers often rush to get back on board. this family flew her back to california where she's now getting treatment. the campbells and other stranded passengers are still trying to catch up with the ship. and norwegian has also said that the campbells passports were delivered to local agents in south tomei. the ship is in senegal this morning and the company says the passengers have been given the authorization to re-join the ship today. the company says they remain in contact with the passengers and are providing information as it becomes available. guys? >> kelly, thank you. we actually have jay and jill campbell with us. they are there in senegal.

>> jill, i was wondering what it has been like since you were left behind. how have you been navigating you and these other passengers in a foreign country. some of you without key medication. without the credit cards you need. what has this ordeal been like? jay, jump in here, too, as well. >> yeah, absolutely. >> yeah. so first and foremost, the lovely people were very gracious and hospitable. they reached out as much as they could to help facilitate helping us find hotels. we were able to get to a tour agency there to arrange flights to the next port of call and also that's where we met julia. that's when we were able to run into her and try to accommodate getting her out of the country and put her in contact with her daughter. so, you know, it is a very

difficult process. you are dealing with multiple languages, language barriers. you are dealing with different currency, currency exchanges, finding someone that even has dollars. taking dollars, the minimum amount that we had, trying to convert them to local currency, trying to get an agent to understand where we needed to get to and, you know, it is one of those you can't get there from here. i think we flew through six countries just to get there yesterday. >> right. so that's where it's been for the last couple days. we've flown actually seven countries we've been in 48 hours to get from thomei and now to the ship. >> jay and jill, when do you expect to be on the ship at home? >> well, we are considering whether or not we are going to board the ship. it is in dock here in senegal. we arrived late last night. the ship arrived this morning at 7:00 a.m. >> is it because you don't feel comfortable getting on that ship

or why? i believe that they really forgot they are people working in the hospitality industry and that really the safety is -- and the well-being of the customers should be their first priority. and that should be placed first. so it does concern us. >> yeah. all right. >> thank you very much for sharing your time and so sorry that you have had to go through all of this. >> yeah, keep us posted. >> will do. >> thank you. >> thank you. take care. >> a lot to go through there.re. >> yeah.

>> reporter: there are multiple factors that could explain why differences to a person's weight loss history. other medications patients are taking can also counter the effects. then there are patients who don't lose any weight at all. although, medical professionals are not sure why. doctors say it is important to remember obesity is a the remarkable, are not a silver bullet for everyone. >> it is not easy to lose weight. and we need every tool in our tool box. and that includes diet and physical activity and medications when needed. >> let's talk about that tool box for a second here, stef. >> yeah. >> if these drugs aren't working for certain patients, what are the other options doctors can consider? >> right. well, doctors will tell you first off, 85 to 90% success rate for a drug is pretty impressive. but then they will do a few things. there will be a period of time where they try to work with dosage with a patient to see if that will work, try a different form of the medication.

if that doesn't work, they go back to tried and true, diet and exercise, other medications and if possible if the person needs bariatric surgery, that's another possibility. so. >> all right, steph, thank you stephanie gosk. >> you're welcome. all right. 7:44. how about a check of the weather? >> there he is. >> here's the deal. sheinelle jones is back here -- come on. sheinelle jones is back here talking, yapping and we could hear her the whole time just yapping. i was doing my job, trying to keep you quiet. all right. come on! trying to do a show here. anyway, but, hey, everybody really excited about this total solar eclipse coming up. so right from san antonio, dallas all the way to burlington, that's total, total solar eclipse. the further away you get it is a little bit less. you see it in austin, texas. little rock, it is 2:51. we will be making our way into

investigation. savannah? >> raf sanchez in tel aviv, thank you. there is new fall-out this morning from the ongoing safety and production issues at boeing. united airlines is asking its pilots to take unpaid time off next month, blaming recent delays in the delivery of boeing aircraft. nbc senior correspondent tom costello joins us with a closer look. tom, first of all, why does united want these pilots to take this time off? >> reporter: this is all about the ripple effect. united tells nbc news it's offering pilots this voluntary time off for the month of may because it hasn't received new planes from boeing. planes it needs to fly its scheduled routes. going into the busy summer season. united says it's been forced to reduce its pilot flight hours for the remainder of the year. it is hoping this will reduce excess staffing. and the airline says it will likely offer similar time off to pilots over the summer, potentially even extending that into the fall.

it is all about supply and demand. big demand, limited supply of planes right now, craig. the airline was supposed to receive 43 boeing 737 max 8s this year. it is now only expecting 37. also expected, 34 max 9s. that now down to just 19. so the impact of the manufacturing delays will affect other airline fleets as well, as our cnbc partners have reported, united is just one airline pausing pilot hiring this spring after that hiring push following the surge in the airline travel following the pandemic, craig. >> tom, what, if anything, is boeing saying about united claims here? >> reporter: it's declined to comment, at least to nbc news at this point. but this all comes as boeing is struggling. its reputation critically damaged. the faa, as you know, increased oversight with boeing insisting it's doubling down on quality control after that alaska airlines incident when that door

plug blew out of a max 9. the justice department also has a criminal investigation underway into boeing. since that incident, the faa has barred boeing from increasing its production rate, which is adding to the current delays in production. united was also set to fly an even newer version of the 737, the max 10, but that is now on hold. the max 10 has not been certified yet by the faa, and it's been removed from the airline delivery schedule. and boeing's ceo david calhoun announced last week that he is retiring at the end of the year. boeing, of course, facing tremendous backlash from airlines worldwide that bought new planes, but the planes are well behind schedule going into the busy summer travel season. that makes it difficult for the airlines to fly their promised schedules, craig. >> senior correspondent, tom costello. tom, thank you. let's move now to some dramatic video of the seaside cliff rescue in sonoma county,

california. they used thermal imaging, spotted a hiker who had fallen off a trail sunday in the golden gate national recreation area. he was clinging desperately to the face of the rock while the ocean waves below him were starting to rise with the tide. the victim was placed in a rescue device, quickly air lifted to the top of the cliff. he was examined by the fire department, paramedics. he had some scrapes and bruises. but otherwise, he was just fine. >> wow. crazy rescue there. how would you like to have the legal right to ignore your bosses phone calls, texts and emails when you're off the clock? >> yes. >> california could become the first state to go there. this is a bill introduced yesterday that would put up guardrails, separating work and private time. employees would be allowed to disconnect without facing punishment. france, australia and some other countries already have similar laws. now are you ready for the fine print, mr. melvin? >> huh oh. >> exceptions would be made for genuine emergencies and businesses that typically have

still covered in his white birth coat. >> they usually keep it until r center received another urgent call about a seal pup. >> she was reported to they're weaned, usually two to three weeks. >> reporter: hours later, the center received another urgent call about a seal pup. >> she was reported to have something around her neck. from what we can tell, it is from the plastic overwrap from a case of bottled water. >> reporter: number 12 was likely only a month old and was likely making her way down to new england and canada where many seals are born. as for that piece of plastic? >> she managed to get it off in the crate. she's very feisty. >> reporter: number 11 and 12 became the newest in-house patients joining nearly a dozen other seals on site. >> we treat this facility very much like you treat a human hospital. >> reporter: the rehab process for both pups was all about packing on the pounds and getting them to eat on their own, with no major medical issues. something that went swimmingly, especially for number 11. >> he likes to swing for supper. he's very vocal about what he wants.

>> reporter: since arriving, 11 and 12 have already doubled in size, now weighing about 80 pounds each. allowing them to graduate from their smaller pens to the big pool. now after nearly 7 weeks of care with a tender touch, this adorable duo is ready to dive back in. >> we're hopeful they will head out and find their own way. >> reporter: it is a great feeling to watch them go. >> reporter: okay. so joining me now live, we have jay, stranding coordinator. jay, i know you've been doing this for a long time, nearly three decades. does it ever get easier seeing these animals head back into the ocean. >> i don't know about easier, but it is exciting every time it happens. it is great to see these animals come in, rehabilitated, knocking on death's door, put on weight, get stronger and eventually go back into the wild. >> reporter: you pour your heart and soul into these animals. can it be emotional sometimes? >> a little bit. a little bit. that's why we don't name the animals. we stick with our field number. it makes it easier to let them go when the time comes. >> reporter: so we know we have

is 1 and 12 not far from where i am. so we are going to give jacob, the stranding technicians a thumb's up to begin the release. they are both in those crates now and they're going to make, 50 feet or so the journey back into the ocean. >> about 50, yeah. >> reporter: what's typical behavior? are they going to dart in. you can see the nose start to peek out. >> we hope they will dart in. sometimes it's all up to them. like working with kids and animals. can go any way at any time. hopefully they'll cooperate. we're going to let the male out first. we will let our little female out. this is the one that was entangled in the plastic. you'll see hopefully she will come out and follow one another back out into the wild. >> reporter: so they have gotten to know each other in the last couple of days or so? you actually have introduced them. >> yes. they spent about a week or so in our big exercise pool, getting to know one another. little bit more room to swim around, build up their muscles so they can swim and dive and make it easier to capture food.

a circle, make sure to cut it on, whatever may happen. all right. we may have to back you have. >> reporter: we're now watching them move in various directions. they're walking towards us. do you think they will stay together or are they solitary creatures? >> they're pretty solitary for the most part. they will move on their own. they will kind of do their own thing. >> reporter: very cool. >> kind of move away a bit so we don't want them to come back here. >> reporter: you have a net. you have some devices to help guide them. >> in case they in the crates. hopefully they'll go on their merry way very shortly. >> reporter: is every release different? what can you expect? there is an unpredictability element here. >> yes. these aren't trained animals. they're wild animals. and it's kind of hard to figure out what their plan is. >> reporter: do you know, do you

have a sense of what direction, where they will be going? >> hopefully once they hit back in the water, they will move north. they will start making their way north toward their home. basically coming down here from new england and canada. >> reporter: guys, this is pretty remarkable to see right now. it is so amazing. now as you guys know, i'm now experienced in field releases. this one is going a little differently than last year. >> is there any -- i mean, for a second we thought they were going to get back in the crate. >> right, yeah. >> is there any concern that they might not want to go back to the wild? sounds like a real dumb question. >> reporter: yeah. let me bring in jay here. we saw the seals start to make their way back to the crate. is there a concern they want to go back to the familiar? >> could be. they have been sheltered for the last month and a half or so. so they could be looking -- this is the first time they're actually completely exposed to the weather. >> kind of like when my in-laws showed up. >> stop! >> kind of looking for a nice,

drier place to show up. they're used to their small pool. they're looking for their first meal of the day, which they would be having right about now. if they were still with us. >> so they have to find their food and everything now. >> i'd stay in the crate myself. wow. >> how long does this usually take? >> about the same time for paint to dry. >> oh, wow. >> we don't know. >> let's go! >> here we go! come on! >> this could be a while at the >> it could be a while the rate we're going. >> so close! >> he's going. >> hopefully the male will turn around. >> reporter: so which one is this? >> this is the female. this is number 12. and this is number 11. >> reporter: and they were rescued on the same day, within hours of each other. >> 11 came in first. we picked him up here. we were relocating another animal to the north end of the beach here. >> go! >> on our way out here we got a call that he was hanging out at the south end. >> she's there. oh, oh. >> number 12 -- >> is it cold? wait a minute.

how hard is it for them to find their meal? they've been spoon fed and now they have to go forage for their meal. how hard is that? what will they eat? will you ask? >> reporter: so they're wondering what are the seals going to be eating? what's that transition like, they have been spoon fed the last couple weeks. now they have to forage and find their own meal. >> we try to keep it as natural as possible. we toss the fish in. we stand behind the curtain. they can't see the fish coming from us. basically out here, there's plenty of fish for them to feed on. blue flounder. all sorts of -- striped bass. >> i think they will be surveilling their surroundings for a bit while now. we'll have to check in to see when they make it to the water. >> give them time. >> check back in. >> we'll continue to check back in. >> continue to watch seal team 11 and 12. >> what's great on the other side of weather you'll be able to do "pupstart". >> i'm rooting for them. >> we need a squeeze box to watch. i need to know.

where these guys approached me about the idea of filming the process of creating from scratch. and, honestly, it was like very uncomfortable. it's very uncomfort like talking and having people see. >> you should have told me it makes you and, honestly, it was like very uncomfortable. it's very uncomfortable like talking and having people see. >> you should have told me it makes you uncomfortable. >> but i loved it. i love how it turned out. >> i was going to say, the documentary doesn't make you feel uncomfortable. it is super fascinating. so i think i read that like seinfeld or somebody, he kind of believes like if you tell a joke once and it doesn't hit, that joke is dead. that is not your philosophy. you're like workshopping these jokes again and again. when do you give up on a joke? >> i'm 10 to 15 tries. how about you? >> i mean, i think i'm 5. >> yeah? >> but i will say, you know, and mike has this wonderful podcast he does. behind him, it is just a million note cards. i feel like there are probably jokes you are holding on to that
